When I saw my little girl playing with her Barbies this morning, it got me thinking about femininity and how Barbie dolls have been given so much slack over the years. Sure, I get why not many of us have perfect Barbie-shaped bodies, wander round in perfectly glamorous dresses and make up all day, it’s pretty unrealistic, sure.

However there is a part of me that, well, just bloody loves them...why? Because they are so fabulously fashion, their clothes are so much fun and frankly, if I managed to have a little bit of Barbie doll style in my life then I think I would be one happy girl. Does this stop me from being a deeply connected spiritual feminine/ feminist woman? No not at all, let me tell you why.....

Who says to be a deeply soulful sister in the hood we have to neglect all the frivolous and fantastical world of fashion. Who says that we can’t be mindful and rock amazingly spectacular outfits? Well not me. Sometimes the world of spirituality and mindfulness can take its self so seriously. I believe that our inners and our outers are intrinsically linked that the two go hand in hand and all my life I’ve loved sparkly dresses and feeling feminine. When I wear lovely things they trigger an amazing feeling inside I feel connected to myself and there is an unstoppable energy that comes with this. What in the world pray tell isn’t soulful about this?

Secondly to be a woman is a blessing from the heavens sure we have allot of intense things we have to go through with our bodies throughout our lifetime however there is something so deeply magical about being a woman. There are so many faces to us we are emotional, irrational, completely rational, wise, elegant, serene, surrendered the list goes on however you can be sure that there will be many faces shown throughout a monthly cycle if you know what I mean. So why on earth shouldn’t our clothes reflect this. Surely it’s fine to be slouching around one minuet in an androgynous jumper and trousers one day and the nexts wiggling around in pink fishnets and high heels? I feel like it’s just too easy to get stuck in the latter and to find ourselves feeling a little embarrassed about dressing up....why is this?

In some was I don’t feel like the history of feminists have completely done us favours. Don’t get me wrong the right to vote, have opinions in life our own bank accounts (a very good thing!) is amazing. However I feel sometimes that a part of our female generation has been pushed into becoming over masculine and in lots of ways it messed up quite a lot of flow in the world.One of which is the feeling of women feeling relaxed and connected to themselves enough to express themselves with their clothes and their lives. It’s so easy for us to get caught up I. The stress of money work managing things that we give up on ourselves and we forget that we once were little girls who just simply loved to play dress up and all the simple joy that this brought to our lives.

So don’t get me wrong here I’m not saying we all need to look like barbie dolls what I’m saying is there’s nothing wrong infact there is everything right in wanting to look and feel amazing. There are so many faces to femininity and I really feel this is one not to be forgotten. So how do we do this? We take a key from our little girls book and we focus on playing every now and again rather than thinking about everything we need to achieve. We spend some time lolling around enjoy ourselves and how we look and who we are. Im absolutely sure if we all did this every week our lives would become way more fabulous with very little effort and the things we would attract would be well nothing short from magnificent.....just a thought!

If you're anything like me, and I imagine you are at least a little, you're coming out of winter feeling a few pounds heavier from over eating to cope with the cold and, at times, the slightly depressing energy of winter. You're craving light, fresh energy, daily flowers in your garden and a new and renewed feeling of love and zest for yourself and life. Winter, if we followed nature’s lead, is a time to go in, a time to lie dormant. However us humans push through invented Christmas and lots of busy things to simply cause us stress and overwhelm, so by the time we get to spring we’re like WTF, I’m exhausted literally gasping for a breath of spring. Well, it’s here...yay, and here are my top tips of how to skip into it literally full of the joys of spring, as opposed to full of the bloat of winter...

Tip 1)Give yourself permission to get excited yay....it’s time finally to look into your wardrobe and begin to start planning refreshing your clothes and your style. I love this time of year I use it as a day dream time as it’s still a little cold to get the summer frocks out but it’s a good time to start thinking about what your feeling for the next season. I just loved Gucci’s neon tights with dresses and trainers on their runway show I’m starting to gather visual images in my mind and on Pinterest for my outfits this season. So my first tip would be get excited, day dream start a visual pin board on Pinterest or in a scrap book or minds eye of what you feel like wearing as the weather gets warmer.

Tip 2) Start cleaning your wardrobe so that you don’t attract moths, now this may seem a little early but cleaning takes time and energy as were all super busy. Moths season is more like May until September however it’s no good starting a clear out in May as they would already be beginning to munch away at our finery. I sometimes think I was a moth in a past life as I love everything they love, silk & cashmere being their favourites. Because of this I have a sharp eye and radar for them. I will write a full blog in the next few weeks on how to manage them. However for now the first step of to clear out and dust down your wardrobe. Moths love dirty dark cupboards and dirty clothes so it’s time to just awaken yourself to this process.

Tip 3) Is more about doing some internal dusting of ourselves as opposed to external dusting. I’m giving up eating grains and drinking heaps of hot water I find cold makes me too chilly just now. It’s time to clean out all the stodgy food I’ve been eating and resfresh my energy for the year ahead. I’m also back on daily green juices and also on my rowing machine. You see a gentle consistent practice of self love and self care will mean within 6 weeks of so I will be feel much more high vibe and if I manage to continue by summer I should be feeling bikini fit. You see it’s all about making gentle progression to our desired goal for ourselves. Giving ourselves permission to have visions for our ideal bodies and energy field whilst loving ourselves enough to prioritise what we need to achieve this.

Tip 4) Remember we’re still not quite here spring is coming it hasnt yet arrived if we take que from nature she’s still keeping all her pretty little flowers just below ground laying still dormant but preparing them for their bloom. I’m feeling like doing the same, I’m not yet dancing bear foot with flowers in my hair. I’m snuggled in my duvet with my new silk and velvet eye mask on. I’m letting go of feelings that don’t serve me, habits I gathered last year simply to survive. I’m going into a place of serenity acceptance surrender that the past isn’t my story. I’m feeling grateful for the simple things the fire in my burner which has saved me these last months. My many amazing beautiful friends all around me. Last but not least I’m so greatful for the pull of nature and that spring is finally here. I feel if I just lie dormant just a little bit longer however with the energy of gratitude and surrender by the time spring is here I will be blooming like all the other pretty flowers.

So that’s it really my 4 top tips on how to shake the winter blues and skip into spring with a spring in our steps. It’s been a long hard heartbreaking winter for me, I hope that yours hasn’t been so tough. Whatever we’ve been through here’s to a beautiful refreshing renewed spring.All my loveDaisy Jubilee xx

So often in life we feel that, to be happy, achieve the things we want in life, we need bigger budgets to spend, higher incomes more, disposable income. Now I’m not going to deny that money helps with all of the above. However, I deeply feel that so often we forget the huge impact that our inner vitality has upon our external lives and ultimately whole life experience. So if you're at this point, wondering what on earth sequins have to do with it then read more....

Walking home from the school run this morning, calculating in my head how I’m going to achieve everything I want and more in my life. Now I’m a single mum with children in tow, a house I’d like to convert, travels around the world and a love of all things beautiful to connect with. I found myself thinking myself into a momentary dead end. I sighed and decided to shake it up within my head. I decided to feel my way towards my dreams from a different angle, a less exterior perspective.

So as I walked home I found myself feeling into to my inner vitality, I noticed that it was feeling a little sad right now, that my body felt like it has been through a lot, The truth is, I have. However I noticed that despite the feelings, there was a part of me pulling towards huge vitality. Your inner vitality is the energy which makes you feel alive, reborn, rested and new, it's the fresh energy which you are born with way before anything hard happened to you and left it dirty mark. Your vitality can be nurtured and expanded by lots and lots self love, appreciation and self care.

I see the inner vitality like the combination of a mussel and a plant you need to exercise and water. It’s multifaceted like a diamond or a disco ball or even a bee hive. It’s built up by many things, it’s truly holistic and cannot be thought of in any other way. It requires you to tend to and take care of each part with love and commitment so that it may fully bloom into the beauty that it is meant to be.

Enter the sequins…. So my inner vitality likes a lot of things, lots of water, good food, exercise and vitamins obviously, however there is a whole bunch of other things that make me feel happy and excited, one of which being super sparkly shiny things. I’m not sure why I love things that twinkle so much but I have for as long as I can remember. My take on it is I love light, I love energy, spiritual/ psychic energy, dance energy - I love it. I’m fascinated about the way in which our energy transmits out into the world, drawing in the things we're feeling into. So for me sequins are one of the best light reflectors in the world, when you're wearing sequins something about them makes you feel so amazing. Their twinkle and their shimmer has this liquid slink effect upon the way you move your body. It's the best feeling dancing all night in sequins. So if ever there was a magical item to help you whip up your energy and transmit your magic out into the world, I’m absolutely certain that sequins are that.

So here is my thought for today; perhaps the quickest and most joy filled route to limitless anything you want in this life time is simply through wearing lots and lots of sequins. Simply so we can light ourselves up with the amazing twinkly feeling hey give us, whilst both zinging and then transmitting our inner vitality into the world so we can attract our wildest dreams. Just a thought?

Sometimes in life really big things happen which simply knock you off your feet. There isn’t much you can do about it but go through whatever is happening and do everything you can to stay strong. It’s hard because during these times we need to let ourselves let stuff go and not give ourselves a hard time, simply trust that everything is going to be right there for you as soon as your ready to get back. You see, this is happening to me right now as I’m going through a divorce at the moment. I’ve just become a single mum and I’m finding it so hard to keep going with things.....so I’m asking you to stay with me.

You see, over this last year with my blogging and posts, I’ve noticed that many of you lovely people are enjoying following me. The feed back is that the content is valid and it’s helping. You really can’t know what a two way thing this has been. This blog has been a huge transformation tool for me. I’ve been in the process of splitting up from a 12 year relationship and marriage pretty much since I started it. It seems that all my talking about following your truth and not being scared forced my life to be realigned so that I may truly practice what I preach. It’s given me the strength to actually do this, which is why I haven’t quite managed to do all the things I was hoping to last year. However, in the last few months it got hard. The separation became real and I’m going to be honest, I’ve been crumbling. The struggle to keep on top of the extra practical things coupled with the immense grief and bereft feelings I’ve been experiencing have made me feel like hiding. This, from what I have heard, is normal.

When, as a community, we see our friends and family loved ones go through such sad and difficult times, often we don’t really know what to do. An energy of worry can set in, a hope that they will be OK coupled with a sense of fear for them. I feel that the strongest way that we, as the loving humans we are, can help our loved ones is to hold them in your thoughts with trust love and light. You see it’s like this - we are all connected and the way we see people and think about people effects them as well as ourselves. Often our ability to be able to see someone else's possibility is dampened by our own experiences or things we’ve seen others go through and we can worry for them.

However when we choose to hold someone in all their magic and beauty at a time when they can’t easily find it, it’s a beautiful and transformational experience. You see, ultimately all this trauma we seem to experience on this path is data, it’s not our truths, our truths are far more incredible. Yet the hard times are it seems necessary for us to grow and move closer to our lightness so they say!

So one of my favourite things to do when people are down is to hold them whilst being with their darkness, simply seeing them with love and trust that they will rise through this more magical and more beautiful than before as they will have shed from their souls another layer of unnecessary human conditioning.

So my lovely friends, if you feel inclined, I’m asking you to do this for me now. Please will you stay with me, please can you trust I’m going to find my feet, trust I’m going to bounce out of this and boom with my life and work please if you feel inclined to think about me can you hold me in love and light because we’re all in this together. Our thoughts are beyond powerful as is the magic of collective healing. Communities have the power to hold and lift our fellow members up and beyond simply by thinking about them kindly.

My friends who are local, please don’t let me slip away and hide, keep inviting me, visiting me, pulling me out into the world, don’t give up on me, I don’t need space, that’s just my fear, I need connection, We all need connection, I’m sure I’m not alone. If your going through similar things yourself don’t be afraid to reach out asked to be seen in your truth and your magic it really helps!

So often in life we feel that to be happy achieve the things we want in life we need bigger budgets to spend, higher incomes more disposable income. Now I’m not going to deny that money helps with all of the above. However I deeply feel that so often we forget the huge impact that our inner vitality has upon our external lives and ultimately whole life experience.

So recently I’ve been shining some light on Addiction: “the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity” Dependency, dependence, craving, habit, weakness, compulsion, fixation, enslavement.Sounds severe to be addicted to something, yet really I get a feeling if many of us looked a little deeper into ourselves we would be able to identify some form of addictive behaviour patterns. You see more than we think it's a sign of our times. They are conflicting times emotionally, in many ways we are more well off more comfortable, at ease within our life styles than ever. Yet in the same notion we are the most stressed and under the most pressure to keep up. In every way not only with our lives but with our children's lives. The whole energy of this modern world which we have created seems to have spiralled into a state of mania both athletically and practically is there any wonder that one of the first coping mechanisms is ADDICTION……so heres what I feel about it.

There are so many forms of addiction, food, love, sex, porn, shopping, exercise, internet searching, social media, drug, alcohol are the most common. All of them are unconscious traits and in many ways hard to detect, they start of with a simple intrigue and then slowly become a bit more obsessive then there are hard formed habit and before you know it your in a secret love affair it, you cant get enough your ways looking for your next fix a temporary hit to fill you up to get off on feel better some light relief then after awhile the hit wears of and in sets guilt shame less excited feelings and whatever it is that you had be it an expensive purchase, a bar of chocolate a few to many drinks the whole experience has lost its twinkle. That is until the next time we find ourselves with the uncontrollable urge for more and so it goes they cycle of addiction.

I’ve been doing a whole heap of soul searching on myself as I’ve realised more than ever before that I get really easily addicted to all kinds of things. I’ve always know this from a very young age you see I’ve always had a slightly obsessive and rebellious side. I was prob the first of my peers to start smoking at the insanely young age of 10/11 always the most wasted when I went out in my teens, defiantly had the biggest collection of clothes during uni and on and on. So you see I alway knew I had this kind of junkie/addictive side to myself. I remember when I was pregnant with my youngest two my cashmere blanket & baby clothes addiction got a little out of hand and random packages would be arriving in the post from late night spending sprees. It was at this point I decided to take a smart phone break which ended up being 4 years. In later years I’ve realised my addictive nature has kept me hooked on lots of things which well lets say aren’t always that good for me including love, shopping and food.

Last year before Christmas I decided to take a break for a while on shopping, I’d noticed I fallen into some of my old obsessive habits was getting hooked on restocking my cashmere collection a little too much. I started not being able to settle my list of things I felt I needed was constantly being added to. Some intense needy feeling coming up around this process so I decided to stop. I made a choice to take a 4 month break from shopping for clothes for myself. I didn't set a date I had a few things hanging around which I was thinking to send back I decided just to keep them as that is part of the process the backwards and forwards shall I shan't I feelings. So I just stopped right there and now 2 months down the line it feels good. The interesting thing is this, its given me the space to actually understand and begin to resolve some of the deeper things which have been going on the bigger stuff. Its also quite a calming experience there has been less noise of clutter and stuff decisions going on. I feel happier with the things I already have and although I will confess to buying a pair of boots and a handbag in the charity shop for prob a total of £10 combined. I knew when I bought those items that they were 100% fit not just an emotional fix there weren't any feeling of guilt after.

Why bother doing this? Well, for me its about breaking down the dysfunctional links to things. If I'm going to do something, experience something id like it to be coming from a pure place a soul connection rather than an emotional I need this to make me feel better kind of way. When we do things for the joy of the feeling the imprint on ourselves is so much more enjoyable even ecstatic. You see the doing things from an addicted place is much more likely to embed a negative message into ourselves. We know this when the experience slowly turns into a whats the point, guilt or shame feeling. Then there is the effect constant shopping, needing stuff has on our environment and the world not to mention our wallets. The clutter that exists in our homes spilling out onto landfill and the whole world is shameful. Its vital that humans slow down and take stock of their actions for the good of mankind. I can really recommend having a consumer break it's so refreshing and when you do decide to re connect make some purchases it feels like such a treat and a much calmer, clearer centred experience win, win all around. I’m currently loving daydreaming about sequinned jumpsuits and silk summer dresses and getting excited about manifesting some of these pieces into my wardrobe for 2018!

As Couture fashion week is commencing currently in Paris it's got me thinking about why such beauty, such drama and indulgence is necessary, both for the world of fashion and for our own lives. You see, for me, a life without magic, a life without fantasy, is a very sad place indeed. Reality at times can be quite hard work for all of us, most homes, relationships, businesses require at least a little of the stuff we don't feel like doing. So the fun bits, the dreamy parts, the visionary parts are in my opinion so worth focusing on, so this for me is what is so amazing about the sheer existence of couture and how this mindset can influence our own lives.

Take me back 16 years I was 24 and living in Paris working for Louis Vuitton which in itself was a wonderful and amazing experience. I was working on the ready to wear team with Marc Jacobs and Peter Copping who were both incredibly inspiring people to witness at work. Then one day I was given a ticket to go to a christian lacroixcouture fashion show, which of course I leaped at the chance. It was quite literally the most beautiful thing i had ever experienced in my whole life. The magic the beauty the drama was beyond words. There were dresses in pastel hues with layer and layers of tulle and corsetry. At one point the whole room was filled with petal like confetti whilst supermodel after super model glided down the runway. The feeling it evoked were those of a bygone era it was literally breathtaking.

So why bother? What's the point of all that money being spent when a very small percentage of the world can afford to buy those dresses? Well the fashion industry is filled by fantasy wonderlust and drama. Every house has its own style its own world and style for us to buy into. These types of shows are the very thing that influence the whole inspiration for everything which is sold through that company. Right down to the cheapest and most easy item to obtain their perfume. You see when you buy a bottle of perfume from a fashion house you are buying a little piece of the magic created by the couture show or the high fashion show. It is the very essence of the couture show that trickles down throughout every line within that company inspiring and spreading its magic throughout, without this amazing high drama, high aspiration style there would be nothing to draw inspiration from.

So, I consider everyday life to be a little similar, you see we all have big dreams high visions for our lives and it's these beautiful ideas the fuel us to keep going with the not so exciting parts. When we continuously focus on those wonderful dreams without doubt, without too much speculation on how they can happen just more on the lovely feelings then slowly but surely these dreams begin to trickle down into our everyday lives and they become our own personal perfumes with which to sent our own lives, rather like the couture shows selling hundreds and thousands of bottles of perfume.

So my point is this don't ever dismiss the seemingly pointless and indulgent because every bit of lux filled indulgent magical vision there is out there is an incredible source of beauty and inspiration for our lives, let me give you permission to spend a long afternoon by the fire or on the beach where ever you are in the world…..dreamily indulging and spending some time looking at the couture shows visioning wearing such beautiful clothes in our own lives it's not in any way waste of time it's a wonderful way to fill our minds with magical inspiration so that beauty and abundance may trickle unconisouly into our lives. If anyone tells you otherwise well you can blame me! Here is the link to all the shows replayed https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2018-ready-to-wear​

Here I am wearing my own version of Couture an oufit I designed and made myself when I was at the Royal College Of Art.

Whilst doing my first row of the year and well first for a few months, I found myself thinking about all the things I would like to achieve, both for myself and my family. You see, I have this innate desire to live a truly abundant life where I can live in beautiful places, eat high quality food and generally live what I feel is a high vibration life. A life which makes me feel true alive and on fire. Yet when I truly begin to explore this for myself and how I'm going to continue achieving this in an authentic way, it's interesting what feelings come up for me and I'm certain I’m not alone with this. So this is what I think….

When I drop into the visual picture of how this looks it involves many things ranging from spending time in beautiful nature spaces to living in an elegant beautiful homes. I like giving my children a fully supported life were they get to learn who they are and become masters at the things they love from a young age. I enjoy wearing lovely clothes which light me up and spend time in beautiful places with like minded soul seeking people. I want to be able to live a life which feels free and authentic to who I am and the things I truly value in the world. A life where simplicity is at the chore, a life free from complexity and confusion and emotional drama. A life where my gifts create my income flow and then support me to be myself, sounds good hey. So why is it no matter how far we are on that journey there is so much shame and muddy feelings that can feel like a huge mote disabling us from getting into our very own castles?

So those feelings? The ones that make us feel like our dreams are drowning like wellies stuck in the middle of a muddy mote and we just can't quite get to our castles. Why is that? It's like your doing your best to stay positive keep going and believe in the dream. To even have the audacity to say you can do it, a life true to who you are to make amazing money from your truth. Then come along those feelings where all you want to do is curl up and hide. All the helplessness the fear of failure of fucking up big time, the feelings that make you feel ashamed for dreaming big. Who the hell do you think you are? You can achieve that, you can't support yourself and everyone else at that level what are you thinking. The feelings that say what will people think of me, no one will understand me anymore I won't belong if i become that successful. And there you have it in one millisecond all those beautiful multicolored full spectrum visions and dreams you have for you life are popped and your brought back down left in a crumpled heap on the sofa simply not knowing where to begin and why you even felt them in the first place.

Ok let's get frank about this we live in a system where the reality is this money is the currency, I’m not saying it’s right or wrong it just is. If I want to live in my dream house then it's going to cost me some money. If i want to eat high quality food either i need to grow it which means i need to have time which means i need to be making money whilst im not working or I need to buy it. You see my motivations for living a life true to my souls gifts aren't really anything to do with money in fact you could easily say a part of me has no care for money. I mean this in the way I would struggle to do a job day in day out which completely kills my soul just for money. I believe many of us are the same and most certainly the millennial generation are. More and more people are questioning their reasons for working. I’m aware I need to be careful of sounding like a spoilt brat here because it’s not that I’ve worked cleaning jobs and waitress jobs to make money throughout my life. What Im talking about is the kind of job that literally takes up all your time your whole life just for the act of making money. You see for me those jobs are all part of the same trap and are intrinsically linked to the mucky muddy feeling which keep us from believing in the possibility of making money using our gifts so we can live our dream lives. Believe me now I’m 100% certain it's a con, we are conning ourselves by believing our feelings of shame and self abandonment over the beautiful sweet song which is our truths.

So why? why ? why? Why are we allowing ourselves to tripped up by these feelings, why is it the simple task of stomping through that muddy mote in our sparkly wellies blocking us from our dream lives. Why can it become so icky and horrible? Well you see I see it like this we are all made up of lots of different energies, light dark, sparkly and so on the energies are our stories which are made up from lots of things our past experiences, our families experiences our ancestral stories then we have our soul our truths... like everything in life they are a mixture of positive and negative.We collect them inside ourselves like our own blueprint bible that we fully believe to be true because we saw it first hand our mother or grandmother told us so and then life happened and confirmed all this to be true. So here we are believing in our blueprint bible believing like good disciples, we managed to gather other people around us who have the same values the same beliefs and they became even more true for us. Ultimately we all share the same shame and fears of stepping up together.

So there you have it the big fat muddy mote surrounding your beautiful dream filled castle. So I'm going to say this, it's all an illusion the whole lot. It is possible to drop those feelings of shame and fear it just takes effort the effort is in the task of surrendering them, letting go of those feeling. Cry, sob, exercise, tap, jog,breath,pray, do anything you can to get them out and let them go. Don't expect it to happen over night it's a life times journey and it takes dedication. Focus on everything you LOVE, use your clothes to raise your vibration express yourself. Take A LOT of care of yourself, LOVE yourself, fat bum, warts and all because its vital we do this no matter how hard it feels and believe me I know. Make it your life's mission to get through the mud so that you may access your dreams don't give up, keep going, keep going…….keep going…..We've got this. You see there are so many amazing and wonderful and beautiful opportunities out there for us, there are endless stories of self made success people rising from all sorts of places at all sorts of ages. There is no limit to the possibility of a happy dream fulfilled life, the only limit is ourselves, so whos up for joining me on a mission for self fueled limitless possibility and let's create our own blue print bibles on our own terms?

As I sit here contemplating the energy of the new year I’m definitely feeling good about a new start. I'm a snake and snakes love to shed their skins and start again so the new year feels good, new beginnings and new plans bring a feeling of renewed energy. Yet I'm getting a strong sense of how important it is not to throw the baby out with the bath water. This was one of my mother's mantras to me when as growing up as I would leap from one exiting adventure to the next. As I’ve grown older, and a little more sensible and I hope wiser, I now really understand this. You see, it's important we put time aside to stay still and value the roads we have travelled before we try and run ahead on to the next plans. Why is this important? Well this is what I think……

I'm a big visioned, big dreaming kind of gal, I love a project, I love self development and soul work the more beautiful and exciting the better, yet I can easily get carried away with myself and trip myself up in the process or just not really take heed on how far I’ve come. You see, ambition and vision is limitless, it goes on the endless amazing things we could be doing with our lives and the deep healing we can do on ourselves, it's really easy to not notice that in actual fact we have achieved a lot already and how well we are doing. Even the most successful people in the world feel like this because, in actual fact, the path of transformation and self development is never-ending, which means we only really stop when we die and there are scripts that imply that the soul work we do in our lives, we carry on into our next any way, so really the journey truly is endless.

How do we make sure that the energy we are moving forward with is a loving and gentle energy, as opposed to a self loathing energy? We have to take some time and listen to those words we're saying to ourselves. We have to check in to see if they are kind and compassionate, if were saying lovely things to ourselves or not as the case maybe. You see, believe it our not, we have to be our own biggest cheerleader, we have to back our own team with all our hearts and if we're not then we are doing more damage to ourselves than any one else in the whole world has the ability to do. So it's so so important to become the bouncer of your thoughts and don't let any undermining or unkind thoughts come through the door.

I like to spend some time looking at what I’ve achieved, no matter how big or small. The tough things we've survived and grown from and the amazing miraculous things we've achieved. When we decided to move forward from a place of self-acknowledgement it's so much more powerful than the energy of not enough.

This just leaves me to say, whatever you're planning and dreaming for this new year, I wish you so much luck. Remember to leave some space for the magic to unfold, it doesn't matter how much we try to plan and work things out, they often have a habit of going in their own direction as well and that's OK. Just love yourself every part, even the messed up bits, the fuzzy confused parts, and trust that there is a twinkle inside so bright that it will guide you on your way. Don't forget that clothes and your style are a huge tool to help you manifest your heart's desires so whatever you're wishing for this new year, make sure you keep your wiggle on!

Not sure what is going on for me this week but it’s been hard... my blog which I managed to write amongst sick children is lost, I was so pleased with it and excited to share as I’ve struggled to write resently now it has just disappeared. I’m going to try and retrieve it.....In the meantime I’m going to say this......

Sometimes the quest to be ourselves and share the parts of us we so greatly want to express feels like an impossible act. Life literally trips us up left right and centre. It makes you feel like what’s the point no one cares who is listening anyway. There is a part of me that feels like that right now. As I stand here not feelings I twinkly.We all have our low points and it seems today I’ve hit one, the task is now simple how quickly can I re gather myself and bounce back with out dwelling too long on the hard stuff. So I may shimmer into the new year not sob! Doesn’t new year sometimes have this effect? What is it about high pressure feel good days they can do easily turn on us?

There is one thing I wanted to say and thats thank you wether you have read all my blogs or just a few I'm so greatful for the journey this has taken me on so far. All your feed back has made a huge diference to me and its been so lovely to hear your possitive comments. For years now these words have been trying to burst out of me and for many reasons confidence and a fear of being seen mainly I ignored them. So this year has just been incredible for me to step into my dream and start sharing. I had no idea at the begining of 2017 the huge ammounts of strength I would have found through the sheer practice of stepping into my truth and begining the journey of showing all my inner ponders.

For as long as i can remember I've had a bursting feeling inside to help people somehow believe in themselves so that they could be there very best and most insipred versions of themselves. This last year my main outlet has been through my blog and I hope that some of the info I've shared has empowered you to look at your life a little bit diferently so that you can love yourself that little bit more and be brave enough to express yourself a little bit more.

I'm looking forward so much to share this journey with you next year for now I'm sending you all my love and appreciation for you right now, whatever your doing, however your feeing i just want you to remember this that all the glitz and glamour you could ever ask for in life is on the inside deep in your heard and your soul is a sequin filled universe just waiting for you to dive in. You are enough riight now, you are magic and even if you feel like shit your still twinkly.​Love​Daisy Jubilee

OK guys let's go deep here, let's talk about love, life, the universe, the chaos, the confusion, the intensity and WTF, why is this all happening right now and all in one go. Why after a whole year of slowly digging and ploughing my way out of situations, dreaming and visioning new ones into transmission, why does it all go and happen in the space of just 2 weeks? Every door closes and all the new ones open at the same time…Did that ever happen to you? When I was at fashion school and things would get a little intense, we would say wow this is really pushing us to our pepsi max. My question this is this; why is it we go along in life trying to shift the seemingly impossible then all of a sudden everything shifts, as if out of the blue then we find ourselves clinging onto what feels like the edge of a cliff? Everything around us crumbles into some kind of insane transformational shift. Why does this happen and what are we supposed to learn from these experiences? These are my thoughts…

Ok, if this is happening to me then it must be happening to others after all we are all intrinsically linked one way or another. Over the years with my observations of the human race I have noticed that we are all going through the same things but experiencing them within different situations. So I know that in some way or another you will get it when I talk about all of a sudden everything happening at the same time. Just like BOOM you were meandering along trying to make a few changes in your life then somehow the ground beneath your feet slips away and everything happens at once. All of a sudden the shift you have been dreaming of happens right in front of your eyes and your left thinking what is going on this is insane how can I cope.

So I’d love to get upfront and personal with you but the things that have been happening this last few weeks but they are so intensely personal Im not able to go into detail. However I want you to imagine the kind of shifts you might spend years dreaming of. The opportunity to step out of every section of your life thats not working for you into a new reality and it all comes to a head within two weeks and right before Christmas. So here I am literally on the edge of my new reality peering into the blank canvas that is my future with a huge amount of shifts to hold with three little beans in tow. My question is this do I bolt with absolute fear, or do I open up every part of my heart and my soul and surrender into the deepest amount of trust, knowing that even though I feel so out of my depth I am taken care of and that everything is going to work out. As I have taken some huge brave steps in a direction closer towards my truth.

Obviously I have decided to choose the latter, you see the way I see it is this…there is no coincidence in the fact the everything sometimes happens at once. I believe life sometimes tests us to see how absolutely we can let go and trust in the unknown. Its like a strange trick played on us by our destiny, a little question inside saying come on how deep, how surrendered can you go. The tests come in the form of one thing then the next all happening consecutively so you don't have time to think or see or feel. The only thing you can do is blur all fear into the ether and go into a place of absolute surrender and trust that every little thing is going to be taken care of one way or another. The only thing you need to do is hold onto your dream and your vision, cling onto it, see it in a full spectrum of images and colour then take one trusting step into the unknown with a feeling of absolute trust in your heart. So often we are walking our path getting lost in the what ifs and the hows that we find ourselves not even taking the risks towards transformation, we allow ourselves to live a life stuck too scared of the path of the unknown I’m talking about the absolute opposite of this.

So my feeling is this, when the universe pushes us to our pepsi max she is saying this, come my darling one onto the path of the unknown, don't be scared because you don't know where you are going exactly and how you're going to manage. Im pushing you because I know you can handle it because beneath your fragile human disposition I know you are strong and brave and you can take more than you could ever dream of. I know that you have chosen the path of your truth and I’m challenging you with so many things to cope with so you have no choice to surrender and trust that I've got you and you're going to be ok. You have no time or space to think or be sacred and as a reward for your bravery I will shower you with signs and gifts and magical opportunities so that you can be rest assured that you are on the right path. So that you will trust in me more and more each day, that all you need to do is believe with your whole heart that you are on the yellow brick road to your destiny and soon your rainbow will appear then not far off is that pot of gold. So darling one just keep going you're getting closer every day….Just keep going…..Thats what she is saying…..Thats what I believe the universe is saying to us when the whole damn lot dissolves before our very eyes.

So if you ever feel the energy of this happening in your life from a little to a whole damn lot remember this, you're not alone were in it together and to trust with your whole heart in the unknown because well thats where the magic happens and old doors can close and new ones open and that's when we get to the stage of mastering our reality this is where our true destiny lies the one we can walk blindly towards free from our fears one small step at a time with full trust in our heart and souls that everything is going to be ok.…

Thank you for reading my thoughts, I hope you have enjoyed them please share your feelings below.Sending all my love to youDaisy Jubilee x

Does your life flow like a figure of eight? Do your gifts create you the money you need to live the lifestyle you desire you may provide for your self and your children the things which you all need so that you may rest assured that your honouring yourself and teaching your children or anyone around you that YOU and your unique blue print of gifts given to your soul from birth are the only thing that matters in this life, have you mastered this art? If not are you asking yourself the questions why?Are your gifts the very thing that are crippling you? The fact that you don't have the confidence to share them. You don't know how to extract the knowledge out of yourself in a coherent manner. Did you learn along the line that for some reason they don't matter that its more important to toe the line be a good boy or girl and follow the system.

Let me introduce myself I’m a mother of 3 incredible children with many creative gifts, who when they go into the system created by the powers that be become people who cannot cope. I am also one of those children and when I look at them and see them going through this I see an echo of the past in my minds eye.

However as an adult who has now 40 years experience of being myself. Having used myself as a tool for self study I now know and see that the very gifts that I have to a large extent have crippled me throughout my life. It’s taken me until now to realise that I have no choice but to heal the confidence issues they have caused me so that I may step up and create the income flow that is needed using these at times disabling gifts to create a figure of eight style flow throughout my life. So I may life and provide a life of truth for myself and my children. So I may educate my kids in a way so that when they leave school they don’t need 20 years of break down and therapy just so they can have the confidence to be themselves. So they can create for themselves what I call is a figure of eight lifestyle…. Gifts creating…… abundant money flow…. Creating happy, healthy, humans and around again.

You see I know for a fact that that’s what we are hear on this planet for. We’re not here to struggle and be stressed, someone somewhere has got it all wrong. You see the way our systems are created our schools the way we are taught to be as humans for a huge percentage of us it’s completely wrong. I would go as far to say it’s absolutely crippling, yet so many of us are used to living in a state of self disconnection, stress and overwhelm that we all just validate this as a state of normality. Well, I’m here to suggest to you that this is wrong. I want to challenge you to look deeper. Because it’s as simple as this if your stressed and overwhelmed you don’t feel excited about your life and your work. If money isn’t flowing with absolute ease into your life using you’re unique combinations of gifts. If your kids are unhappy and stressed your home doesn’t feel harmonious then on some level there are things you're denying about who you are on this path called life.

You see I know that until we are brave enough to look our true selves in the eyes and say yes this is me and I’m bloody amazing and this is what I’m here for then circumstances will trip you up again and again. Life will put you into one uncomfortable position after position, our children will echo our pain you can blame it all on others or circumstances until your blue in the face or god forbid literally knocking on deaths door. However these life traps are simply a calling for you to look at what you're not sharing of yourself. Because a figure of eight flow life style is at the chore of all our truths. I believe that through myself being what feels endlessly tripped up by lessons and circumstances through digging deep into my own wisdom this is what I’m hear to teach. So let me share with you more about why I know this to be true.....

For as long as I can remember I’ve felt a story is my heart. Yet at the same time I remember sitting at my school desk age 5 my head full of images and magical stories. Everyone around me getting on with ease yet I just couldn’t get what was in my minds eye out onto paper. I didn’t understand the complexity of the English language I remember feeling like my stories were trapped in prisoned in my mind that my imagination was the place that they could only life. Like a secret only I would know about. In school I would be the one who couldn’t do it. The different one the one no one would understand. And so it began the never ending moving from school to school each place not really getting me until at the age of 16 I was told by the head we’re sorry you need to leave we don’t understand you we just don’t get you there very words.

So off I went into town to college vulnerable beyond words. Lost beyond imagination having turned to a life of rebellion and partying pushing boundaries in all the wrong places. I wanted to study psychology, history of art and art. However within weeks I gave up phycology because what I had imagined would be a course about studying our own concepts of the mind was just an information drilling project of everyone else’s ideas about the mind. This bored me desperately coupled with the fact I could hardly write so I quit. The same with history of art I just couldn’t keep up with the essays so I had to quit. Leaving A level art left to literally save me from myself and the potential hazards of being a lost young rebel.

Then life began to happen zoom forward 20 years. I now see that even at a young age I knew what my gifts were. I was interested in the mind and the impact this had on our lives. I was interested in the artists and what their take on the expression of this was both historically and in the present. I was an artist myself with a message to share. Yet the very gifts that I had where the very things that were crippling me. Then give me 3 children who are the same as me. A life of observation both of myself and people around me. I see that many of us are in the same boat. You see there is loads of lip service about follow your truth happening. However it’s not happening in the very chore of our systems. The first questions we are asked aren’t what is your truth little one. They are more along the lines of can you keep up so your parents can keep up with this insane bloody world.

Buzz words and syndromes like dyslexia and nerodiversitys have been created by the system for those of us that cannot keep up, those of us who choose to or are lucky enough to get a diagnosis and believe me compared to the amount who experience these ways little are diagnosed. You see its like the the system must have been created by the non-dyslexics the non-nerodiverse um why don't they have a name? I would say at least 50% of us if not more have more creative brains than the opposite yet why is it that so many people are trapped in a life constrained by a system that simply doesn't suit us. The way I see it is this it is our job as humans to educate ourselves about all the personality traits of these dyslexic and nerodiverce ways identify the gifts they bring along with the hard parts.You see if your in any way a creative thinker then some of these traits maybe effecting you and your family. You see all of us creatives have a huge amount of power to revolt against this trapping system which we are forced to exist in we just need to stop allowing our gifts to disable us we need to step into the power of them. We need to be brave enough to refuse a life which haven given up on before it even began and start being our own truth trailblazers.

So what’s my plan? To teach and share all that I have learnt on my journey about the mind humanity our gifts and how important it is we unlock our selves so that we can live happy healthy successful lives. I’m going to start breaking down what I see a the key personality traits of the creative and where they can find them selves trapped by them and how to turn this around. I’m going to start speaking louder about what I believe the messages are from the creatives so that somehow a creative and freer mindset can really start to make big changes to the world we live in.

As we approach the mayhem of Christmas, the pressure of over-indulgence in all areas; financial, alcohol, food you name it. The rebel in me can't help but feeling like doing it differently somehow. Now, I’m not talking about being a party pooper, because I love a good social. I’m not saying let's not buy gifts because it's fun to give, but I’m feeling like this year, I just don't want to get caught up in the mayhem. The desire to over-deliver despite myself, the desire to make sure everything is perfect for everyone because, well, that's what we just do….isn't it. I’m talking about a new mindset for Christmas for myself this year so when it comes to it I’m a twinkly as the Christmas tree not as dead as the left over turkey…..Anyone else fancy this?

You see for me and well I imagine for many of us Christmas can be a pretty emotionally loaded time. Yes, its beautiful and festive and I love all of those things but Christmas also highlights all the the things which a missing, loved ones who have passed, separated families or any family dysfunction can feel louder at Christmas. There have been times when I’ve actually wished I could just run away on my own for Christmas, I just couldn't face it the pressure for everything to be perfect. Then there are years and their have been many of these where the plan was to really go for it, over compensate mask every trouble with a huge gift and a prefect meal. Spend more, make it more beautiful just to hear them say Mummy that was the best Christmas. You see whilst Christmas is an amazing time to come together with our friends and families it soon turns into a huge commercial and stressful pressure and well between you and me I’m done with it this year. Add to it a huge amount of waste, plastic, wrapping paper, food you name it and well every part of me feels sad for our planet. So here I am think this how can I do Christmas differently this year, these are my thoughts?

Less if more, less is more lets make this our mantra, lets teach our kids this from an early age. It creates less waste takes less energy to find less items of better quality. Its easy all you have to think is one thing, whats one really great item of quality and value that can be treasured for a long time. Then be passed on or sold. If we cant afford it then why not club together with friends or family to buy this special gift and steer away from the mindset there needs to be heaps and heaps of stuff under the tree. Then most of it is crap that you don't want in your home and is going to take up your life precious time tidying and managing.

Try and do all you're shopping in one big swoop then its done, I love to buy stoking fillers from the school fares or other second hand places so then when they play with it for a day it doesn't matter no stress. Or do one quick internet order and its done. Then try really hard not to get sucked into that last minute stress of ooh I need to buy more a few days before. Just get the job done and let it go. Time to think about some important things like, where did I put that sequinned dress and those diamante heels?

Generally in life I eat little sugar and try not scoff loads of rubbish, apart from a resent Waitress Chocolate addiction I manage pretty well. Christmas comes along and its a mince pie with ice cream every night and so forth by the time you get to New year your half a stone heavier and you feel rubbish . Why do we do this to ourselves? Are just scoffing food out of sheer overwhelm and stress because of the intensity of Christmas. This year I’m not going to get caught up in the over eating for self fore fillment mindset. I will enjoy my Christmas dinner and few other treats out but I fully intend to keep some healthy eating habits going so that I can skip into the new year with a twinkle on my toe and a spring in my feet.

Im going to keep my self care routines going over the festive period, it's so easy to drop all the things we love doing all in the name of busyness preparation and things to do….Just one last gift to buy. Then we loose ourselves and after a few weeks the connection we have to ourselves is totally lost, it takes so long to re kindle on the other side. Well, this year it’s not happening, Im going to do my best to keep all the things I love, exercise, mediation and so on.. to do to keep my twinkle bright going, no more giving myself up for Christmas not this year!

My final plan is to get down to the good stuff that Christmas is all about, I’m going to get dressed up and go out dancing with my bestie’s so I can feel free in my heart and soul. I’m going to enjoy spending time with my children and their friends. I’m going to get messy making Christmas cards and decorations with them. Light a million fires and throw frankincense embers on it so our house smells yummy. I want to make some time for a few winter walks. Buy a beautiful tree and get the treasured decorations out that I have been collection over the years continue in the small family rituals Ive created.

Last but by no means least, this is the time when we have a great excuse to dress up, so much of our lives has been lost to the trend of being casual but I say this, make Christmas your excuse it get all your twinkly bits out sequins, gold, shimmer, shimmer you name it lets do it.. Yes lets all shine like Christmas trees, forget the stress Christmas is about one thing and one thing only its about us all being the brightest loveliest twinkliest versions of ourselves in our souls and in our clothes and everything we do so that we can light up those long dark cold wintery nights and open up our hearts to love each other just a little bit more..…

This season is most certainly all about the colour RED! It is everywhere in the shops, shoes socks, dresses knickers - it's safe to say RED is the colour of the moment. So how do I feel about the colour RED? Well, it carries a lot of stigma with it. I remember my grandma saying 'ooh, you cant wear RED with your RED hair it clashes. Lots of people feel worried about how to wear RED, and to some extent, I say rightly so it's a strong colour to pull off. However, if you work it right, I would say there is a tone of RED to suit everyone pretty much and if you wear it with confidence and a little oolala then you are sure enough to bring the house down.

RED is an emotionally intense colour, it’s the colour of love, passion, lust, our faces can flush red when we feel desire. RED is the colour of fire and blood it is associated with danger strength and power.Is it any wonder that so many fear wearing this strong bold beautiful bright colour. However when we do dress ourselves head to toe in RED there is no doubt about it you feel on fire! It makes you feel strong, passionate it has an upbeat energy it can most certainly brighten up a day or night. So i say this whatever you feel about the colour red go for it and use these tips to help you get it 100% right.

Always be aware of the tone of red your choosing for your skin tone and eye colour. The best thing to do is gather lots of different colours and hold them up towards your face. The trick is to make sure you can see you and not just the colour. People with dark hair can often suit a really bright bold red. People with lighter hair may want to go for a softer more orange tone. Don't be afraid to play around take your time have some fun with it.

A great way to wear RED is in a lipstick, RED lipstick is great fun, very sexy and will most certainly make you look that extra bit kissable this Christmas. As I said above the best thing is to play around with the tone of RED you go for and the effect. I love a matt RED lipstick with a sightly orange tone wear with very little eye make up make it all about your lips and a fresh completion and any outfit your wearing will become super sassy and yes on fire!

3) If you don't feel brave enough to go head to toe in red then opt for a top or some trousers or even some tights or a hat a scarf perhaps dare I say some cheeky red silk knickers. RED works well with lots of other colours i love it with pink, camel and of course back and white. Don't forget RED is a colour of the rainbow happily dancing with all the other colours so forget what your grandma told you you can wear RED. Play around have some fun don't be afraid to mix it up baby after all its the season of play and fun and red is the centre of this season. One thing I would say is no need to go as far as dressing up as Santa even a santa hat ..you really can do a lot better than that!

4) This leaves me to remind you that RED really is a true classic RED stars in all the great movies…from Scarlet ohara red dress to uma thermans Red lips in pulp fiction. RED is defiantly here forever and although this season its playing a strong roll you can rest assured that anything you buy will be loved for ever and ever. So give yourself permission to buy the best you can afford and wear it with pride knowing that you have invested in yourself and your wardrobe for the long haul!

Whatever you do makes sure you wear your new RED items with heaps of confidence you see whatever you wear the most important thing is to smother it with a huge does of it. This can be tricky sometimes because we don't always feel confident all of have to feelings that sometimes just make you feel like hiding but the thing is this when you feel like this the best thing to do is have some kind and gentle reassuring words with yourself. Yes it is ok to talk to yourself after all YOU are the main person in your whole life that your having a relationship with and well your not going away so the best thing you can do is learn to love you all your amazing parts and the uncomfotable bits too. You see we are all a mixed bag noone is perfect and rest assured not many people see themselves as perfect. So the way we talk to ourselves is the most important thing, it sets the president for everything in your life. Make sure you encourage yourself as if you were a child who you cared for more than anything in the whole world. The relationship you have with your clothes is a great way to explore and heal any confidence issues you have. Im telling you now RED is a great place to start with its bold up beat bright energy she will help you heal any confidence struggles you may be having …..So some loving orders from me, "put on those RED shoes and dance the blues" and most of all enjoy RED as much as my eldest son did whilst wearing his RED wig and minecraft glasses!

Dress yourself in the moon the stars, wrap yourself in the heavens, ground your heals in the earth because at the end of the day truly that’s all we have darling one...

I’m dealing with some big life transitions at the moment and well, I’m going to be honest, it’s taking everything I’ve got to stay believing in my magic 💫you see I know I’ve got heaps inside, we all have it’s a given, but life comes along in the form of well relationship break downs and stuff like that and there you are knocked of your pretty little perch. You're left like a bird flapping in the wind.

Your heart hurts and there is a part of you that feels like hiding deep in a bush or under a stone. These are the times you need to be that little bit extra YOU these are the times to pull out all the stops and dig deep into who you are and what you believe in.

You see it's like this, the greatest gift you have, isnt your house, car, diamond rings, job or anything else. It is all that you are everything deep inside of you. All the things your heart believes in, your secret dreams, your life's wishes. Your own internal solar system. I believe that every heart break every obstacle that we come across is simply put there in the hope that we will learn to surrender get out of our own way and simply trust in the unknown. So that we can trust somehow we have the ability to pull the seemingly impossible out of our bags.

You see walking your truth isn’t necessarily the easy path let’s face it, it takes the strength to sometimes destabilise situations that may although already feel unstable in the act of faith that on the other side there maybe something better. It takes being brave and stepping out of the bizare uncomfotable comfort we seem to find by living in uncomfortable yet familiar situations. It takes being brave making yourself visible and shining, sharing all that you are with the world. It takes sometimes putting yourself in a position where you may feel like you're walking blind in the dark with nothing left but your faith to cling to. When all you can do is collapse on your knees and surrender, let go of the whole lot, let it all go give it all to god, the universe or a higher consciousness whatever you believe in. Simply because this thing you maybe dealing with feels too big, what else can you do its beyond logical fixing.

When life pushes you into those moments and you have let it all go you have learnt to walk with an empty heart and if we can all just stop for a moment and see, what a huge gift that is, how incredible that through our hurt through our pain we have learnt the act of pure surrender we have connected to oneness. You see really when you think about it we are all walking blind in the dark with only the moon and twinkle of the stars to light our paths on this journey called life because nothing is certain however tightly we may be clinging on. So why not loosen up your grip?

My question is this what if we didn’t need to be pushed so up against our edges to listen to ourselves and our true paths. What if we knew how to do it anyway. What if we didn’t need to suffer and get lost to find ourselves how amazing that would be. Imagine all the energy we would free up we could just use on the great stuff. So I’m setting some life goals here in my hardest moments. I’m going to remember how it felt to fully surrender this week when I didn't know what else to do. I'm going to be greatful for every door which has opened for me this week as answers to my prayers, I'm going to remember that through the act of letting go some really exciting things are now brewing for me. I’m going to carry that lesson with me for the rest of my living days I'm going to try not to forget.

So what’s the game plan from here darling one? It’s this, I’m pulling every bit of my magic out of my bag I’m going to be a modern day Mary Poppins I’m going to trust that it’s all right there. And I’m going to dress for the life I’m dreaming of. I’m going to let my love of clothes and all things beautiful wrap me up and carry me safely. I’m manifesting a smooth transition for myself by expressing every little bit of magic I can through my clothes. 🌈🌈🌈✨✨💥💥🌈🌈✨✨ You see its simple as this when you shine sun on the rain the rainbows come out.

There is no coincidence that this season there is a trend for the moon and the stars printed embroidered everywhere on shoes dresses you name it. Why is this happening? Because the whole world is waking up we are all rising energetically spiritually and on some level however conscious or unconscious we all want to dress our souls and our bodies with the moon and the stars. We all want a peaceful surrendered love filled life and that’s what we all deserve.

I’m particularly loving the dress in the image from Rixo London https://www.rixo.co.uk/product/rose-dress/Plus these boots from Ash https://www.ashfootwear.co.uk/women-c1/ash-eros-thigh-high-moon-stars-boots-black-velvet-p2545! ​Sending loveDaisy Jubilee

Quick click the share button…in a share obsessed world right now, why is it we're all clicking 'share' on other people's stories but are we really sharing our own desires? Or, are we all really just too terrified to share our hearts desires? Despite living in a viral internet sharing culture, are we all really just blocked up with a secret desire to share more, more truth, more content, more juice? Having always been a natural sharer to the point of making myself vulnerable at times, having observed myself and the effect sharing has on people at times and having been terrified to share at times here's what i think...

You see, I’ve always been an over sharer, I don't know why, I remember how it used to make me feel vulnerable when I was younger as I would share the things that were going on in my life. I remember one incident about age 10 sat on the school bench and I shared with my friend, a new girl in the school, about the fact my mum had a girlfriend for a lover instead of a boyfriend, that we lived all lived together and I absolutely adored her. Then by some crazy magic the other girl told me her mum had a girlfriend and she was too ashamed to let anyone know. Now what are the odds of that in a country school in Bath? In that instant, we created an atmosphere of feeling connected to each other, not weird or alone with a secret, my sharing had triggered healing, it felt good. However days later I was called into the school office and was told to be more careful about the things I spoke about, especially at secondary school. I remember my heart cracking in shame, I was so upset and confused I really didn't understand. My question inside myself was is it OK to share, is it wrong to do what feels so right?

Anyway, I didn't manage to stop being the one always sharing too much and I remember waking up after drunken drug filled nights where I had been opening my heart left, right and centre then feeling super vulnerable the next day, coupled with a hangover. Always when I had a good connection with someone I would tell them the random things that were going on in my life and as I grew older I noticed that my sharing did more than just create a story, it made people feel safe and at ease with me and people would always tell me their stories and things which they were holding deep in their heart.

I realised that it was a healing experience that it was a gift. I noticed that everyone wherever I went would tell me the things involuntarily the things they didn't speak to anyone else about. I would find myself telling stories to people consciously knowing that by doing so I would make them feel safe and they would see that they are not alone that we are all struggling with madness or life complexity on some level. I observed that I would sense information within people and somehow would know the right story to share to trigger healing. I noticed again and again that sharing was a gift, it was the antidote to isolation, epiphanies could be made and it was the thing which kept me going, it was a magical tool. Eventually after ignoring the burning desire to blog for years, blocking the desire share my views, I decided that I had no choice other than to just get on and share from the depth of my heart I had to get over my fears… so here I am writing to you.

So today I’ve been thinking, within our internet sharing obsessive society, do we really understand the value of truly sharing, speaking from our hearts, being our true selves and feeling safe and OK with that? You see, so many of us have things within in us, words, gifts, ideas, knowledge, thoughts that are literally bursting from our hearts and minds to share yet for some reason we feel absolute terror at doing so. These terrified feelings can manifest themselves self in all situations, from telling a friend their words hurts us, expressing to our loved ones something doesn't feel right to putting on a flamboyant outfit stepping out into the world and living our dream, sharing our own personal message and passions to the world. All of these things can create feelings of absolute terror. Today I’m wondering why, why is it that this happens, what is it that stops us from showing up in our beautiful all shining truths whatever they are. What if the things which you feel inclined to share are the very things which could save our world, how sad if you don't share them.

Well, I imagine for all of us there are different reasons for this but on the whole we have been brought up within an oppressive, competitive, suppressed society unconsciously passed on from generation to generation. A world where vulnerability doesn't feel safe it is scary. My views on this have developed over years of practising without conscious intent the art of opening up and feeling vulnerable through sharing, then experiencing peoples reactions feeling safe and being vulnerable back. I have noticed this; there is certain amount of magic created when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable lots of things happen and it really is an incredible thing. You feel less isolated you feel more connected, things that are holding you back dissolve a feeling of love, love for each other and humanity comes. A feeling of innate possibility happens Its an amazing way of connecting to source energy nothing else matters because you're no longer alone hearts have opened and we have connected to the collective consciousness it's amazing its limitless. Sharing and allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also a huge turn on when you connect to your lover with an open heart drop the bravado or the angst and just be honest and truthful from your heart it can trigger the most incredible mind blowing passion and intimacy beyond words. We as humans aren't supposed to live with guarded hearts too scared to share our inner most secrets, or our visions and dreams for ourselves and the world. We are put on this world to share, that's why the internet is going crazy for it because it's our truth were supposed to share. So are you making good use of this simple tool?

The message and the question I’m feeling to ask is this how can we all begin to share and allow our vulnerability to shine in a truly authentic way for the good and the healing of mankind. I’m feeling like asking you to instead of clicking the share button on your computer please just for me and well really for you can you look deep in your heart and share with the world your friends your lover your children and tell them your truths. Own the things that are hurting you, the things which are inspiring you, the dreams you have however big or small because by doing this not only do you free yourself you give them permission to do the same. You also free yourself from the risk of trying to live your life through others, which will always be disappointing for you and a burden for them. You see true connection with each other is were the juice of life exists its the golden thread of life, sharing and vulnerability is where healing can take place it’s the place of bliss contentment and togetherness. Its time for us all to step up and live inspired vulnerable connected lives because this is the inmate calling of human nature, not one secret suffering, shame, pain and stress feeling alone isolated and tangled up within our fears and dreams. We need to be the change that we want to see for ourselves our children our grandchildren and so forth.

How can we do this? Pull out every internal tool you can find to do this work both on an internal and external level. Step out of your comfort zone of keeping quiet because in the long run it isn't comfortable. Wear clothes that make you feel amazing even if a little uncomfortable emotionally, you will adjust to this new level be brave be bold in expressing who you are. If someone hurts you tell them clear it up straight away no blame just that hurt my heart please don't do that. If you feel inspired to share your magic your dreams with someone do it you will be amazed at the difference this will have. Your life will become way more intimate and juicy friendships will deepen, things will flow more naturally towards you with ease your troubles will feel less of a burden you will feel more inclined to get on with the good stuff believe me it works.

This leaves me to ask you do one last little thing for me, if any of this rings true to you and you feel inspired to do so, please can you share this? You see I’m sharing my truth because I want to use my vulnerability to create a healing ripple I want to empower people and help people feel safe to step up and be them selves. Having spent my life doing this with my friends and people i meet I now have a burning desire to expand this gift I seem to have. I would so like to spread my message as far as possible because my heart is bursting with the desire to give people permission to step up and become the most amazing and magnificent versions of who they are. For the good of themselves and the healing of mankind because, sharing is caring, a problem shared is a problem halved and the way i see it in these crazy times the most powerful thing we have is each other. Human connection a connection to the collective consciousness together ... love is the only way.....creating a healing ripple.....one small step at a time.....heart to heart.

We all have the power to be huge influencers in the world, yes you, me, every single one of us. Sure I hear you think that sounds fun but the worlds f**ked, we're all in a mess. No one listens to what I think, I can’t influence, what's the point. Yes. I know that feeling, I have felt those thoughts too. All I'm asking is this; please can you listen with an open heart, just for a moment then see how you feel after you have read what I have to say?

“Yes,” I hear you say……”yay" that makes me so happy so here we go….​Once upon a time……

You were a tiny baby, you were fully surrendered, you trusted that if you cried you would be fed, cuddled, loved, kept warm, be given anything you wanted and needed in life. It was a blissful feeling, your eyes sparkled bright, you gave off an atmosphere of magic. So much so that anyone who walked past you had to stop and adore you. People would queue in a room just to have a cuddle and connect to the magical energy brought with you from the world you had just arrived from. Heaven, source, whatever you want to call it. You were still connected to another world, a world so magical. An infinite world, a place where peace, love, compassion, bliss, expansion and creation is the norm.

The reason that everyone wanted to hold you and be close to you is because they wanted you to remind them of that which they had forgotten within themselves. They, like you, had not so long ago come from that place yet life and its challenges had gotten the better of them, they were finding it hard to connect to this part of themselves. However you, in your beautiful new born form. were still fresh and connected to an energy that I want to call 'the collective consciousness'.

As I write this I feel shy, I feel vulnerable because I'm sharing with you from the depth of my heart. You see, the experiences of having babies, from pregnancy to birth, have been such an incredible eye opening and spiritually mind-blowing time for me. Added to the mix the experience of watching my mum die, she faded away with cancer in front of my eyes.

The understanding that I have learnt for myself about the power and fragility of life and the all encompassing energy which surrounds us, especially during the times of new life and death. I remember the feeling I felt at both times felt similar; both new life and death brought the same tingly other worldly energy. The image of myself is just after my Mum had died and, despite feeling traumatised and in grief beyond words, I also felt a deep sense of peace, an awareness of a place that she had gone, similar to that of when my babies had arrived.

This taught me how to see and continue to connect into the energy of our source as a regular practice and I truly believe that this is the place where true power to influence the world exists. This is the place where true inner peace, freedom and self accomplishment exist, it's better than any award and external achievement. The feeling of peace which you feel when you made this your daily practice is one like no other. Feelings of failure or shame cannot thrive here because here, nothing is wrong, all is OK.

You see, it's like this we all carry with us a story, and in this story, we have made a mess of life. Missed opportunity, lost moments, wasted money, trashed relationships - you name it, we all have at least one horrid thing, if not more. When we choose to let those stories get the better of us and we choose to give up on ourselves, our dreams for a better world for ourselves, that's when sadness sets in. We can find ourselves connecting more to the energy of impossibility, feeling like 'what's the point'? It's always really easy to find people to talk to and confirm that life is hard and many things are not possible, it's a disease in itself, the disease of lack of possibility, a world where we need to stay trapped and feeling powerless. I think you get my picture.

So when you decide that you're not going to do that anymore, you're going to dedicate your life to getting back to that which you have come from. Pure light, the collective consciousness of life force energy, you're going to find ways on a daily basis to connect into things which give you joy. You're going to spend time quietening your mind and meditate and connected to that yummy magical place of stillness and bliss. You're going to become a master of gratitude and positivity. You will find your energy will become magnetic, people will say they feel good around you. You will bring a feeling of calm to your life and your family. Your friends will ask you what you're doing and then you can share with them your journey. This will inspire them and they will inspire the next person. Our children will learn from our actions. You will be creating a ripple of collective consciousness magic throughout the world.

This, in my opinion, is how we can create the change that is needed in the world because if we all take the time to become living, breathing, grounded material and spiritual beings, we as humans will make choices not based on fear but based on love and that which is right for the wellbeing of the planet, our world and the people in it. It's all our tasks to find the strength and the courage to stay connected to our own magic and the place that we came from to live our lives with freedom and joy, remembering that we are just passing through this human life.

That we are here to enjoy this experience, not suffer, and that one day we will return to that place of bliss that we came from. There is nothing to fear, we are safe, we are living the cycle of life and we are all powerful influencers.

So what are the things which give you joy? Mine are these… beautiful buildings, beautiful rooms, clothes, clothes, clothes, nature, exercise, jewellery, spending time with my friends and eating good quality food and super foods. Whatever your things are, please make time for them, because believe me, when you feel amazing and full of life force energy, not only with you be living an incredible life, you will be being a positive and power influencer, one the whole world ripple by ripple.

This week I've been feeling super excited about the leopard and its amazing print.

When God, mother nature, Adam and Eve or who/ whatever created the leopard, I wonder, did they have any idea that they were creating a timeless fashion staple to be saluted by all style savvy fashionistas? What it is that draws myself and so many to love this beautiful pattern, is it just the texture and colour of the skin or are we all drawn to something more? Do we, as a human race, have a deeper yearning to be connected to our animal friends with whom which we share this planet with? Is there something about the leopards nature that’s drawing us into an all time love affair with this animal and if so what is it all about? Here are my thoughts….

Whilst being an animal we are fascinated by in the modern world, she has also played an extensive role within our myths and legends. The leopard ruled by the side of kings and queens within ancient history and she is highly regarded by many cultures and tribes. In ancient and modern Egypt the Leopard is seen as a sign of divinity. If a Leopard crossed ones path in ancient Egypt, that person was thought to possess the highest of spiritual and holy qualities and their advice was sought by spiritual and political leaders. The Chinese have long regarded the Leopard as a great and mighty warrior. In Africa the natives believe that they are animal guides for the spirits of the dead, to help them to find their final resting place. My inquisitive nature tells me there must be more to our fascination of wearing leopard, I’m certain that we have an unconscious desire to connect with the spirit of this animal.

No one can deny that when you wear something leopard print, all of a sudden your inner sass comes out to play you feel hot, you feel powerful yet you feel feminine at the same time. Let's face it; leopard print is the ultimate sexy, it’s sleek and understated yet speaks a whole lot more.

You can throw a leopard print in with pretty much anything and it works. Mix it with lace, miss matched prints and you're leaning close to a look which Dolce and Gabbana would create. Mix her with a cashmere tan coat and you're looking sleek and smart like Victoria Beckham. There are no rules with leopard apart from it works. It’s always in season, it's always hot and YOU need some in your wardrobe, enough said.

Why though is this beauty so timeless. Well, the print has been worn by everyone from royalty to rock stars, leopard print has been both valued as luxurious and sophisticated and dismissed as kitschy and trashy. This pattern has gone from high-fashion to low-class and back again over the years. It first became fashionable in the 1920s when skins were used to make coats and bags. Then, with the mass production of fashion, the market soon began replicating this print for everything, popularised by the Hollywood glamour era in the 1930s and worn by movie stars like Joan Crawford. Christian Dior helped by using the print in his new look and would say, 'if your fair and sweet don't wear it'. In the 1950s and 60s the leopard reached its peak, it was every wife's desire to own a leopard skin coat. However this was soon to crash in the 1960s with the anti-fur movement and everything leopard became cheap and trashy. However like most fashions the leopard had a revival in the 1970s and 80’s and she soon became an example of rock chic when people like Debbie Harry and Grace Jones began to wear it. Since fashion has appeared everywhere from soap operas to couture collections. Rather like its original habitat in the natural world, designed to blend in rather than stand out, its blotches and patterns meant to hide and camouflage in the flora and natural environment. The leopard print has adopted a similar nature in our wardrobes becoming a fashion stable along with black white and beige blending in with any outfit combination.

What of the nature of the leopard, she is fierce, she is a vicious animal, a predator that lives in the southern parts of our planet. She has unlimited amounts of power, her body is strong and slinky, she looses nothing, there is little that can defeat her. She has the strength to dig deep and connect to an innate amount of power pushing through whilst still maintaining elegance and grace. She has spirit like nothing else, she is a savage beauty. If ever there was a cat we could learn from, she is it. If she could talk I wonder what she would say? This is what I think she would say;

Often in life there are challenges that if we learn to never give up we can achieve endless possibilities.

Dig deep and find your fierce savage power, don't let it be tamed down by your fear, if you do this you may die, she would literally die in the wild, whilst for humans it’s our personal dreams which can die.

Beauty doesn't only have to be tame and well behaved, it can be wayward and wild so make your own rules, walk your own path find your own way as I do.

To be a predator and direct with what you want isn't unattractive, it doesn't have to appear vulgar and forceful, you can still be feminine and have these traits. Clarity of what you desire only enhances a clearer path towards your dreams.

So I say this, go fetch your leopard print, wear her with pride, connect to her incredibleness, wear her with honour and the respect that she deserves. Let her help you feel sleek, slinky and full of savage power enabling you to achieve all that you wish for…..the perfect marriage or dream job, go achieve your dreams with her. Wiggle with joy when you win your prey. Just remember that the energy of the leopard helped you, send her blessings, pray that she may be protected, loved and nurtured. We all know the world we live in isn't always a safe place, especially for our nature kingdom and all our prayers count.

This week I met up with one of my particularly twinkly friends, I noticed that her eyes were brighter and everything about her was way more sparkly than normal. Her energy was really up beat and her twinkle was definitely contagious. Hmm…, I thought I, really want to feel like that, as I’ve been feeling a bit dull recently, with lots going on I’d let things go a bit with my self care rhythms and fallen into some bad habits. You see, twinkle power isn't just about looking good, it's about attracting more of the things and people you love into your life with flow and ease. When your twinkle is bright the right people want to be friends with you, people feel drawn to work with you and endless opportunities and things fall into your lap.

So I was thinking; what would my top seven “power up your twinkle” tips be, and this is what they are…

Firstly there is no escaping from the fact you are what you eat. There is nothing we can do about that, when you eat well, and I mean a super clean diet, then it really shows in your energy. My friend who I met had fully given up sugar. Something which I try and live by and I’m telling you now the transformation on your life and your energy when you give up ALL sugar is incredible.

Everything in your body feels different, you feel light, more constant in your moods, you think clearer. Joy is accessed with more ease, you literally twinkle, it’s amazing and something I can truly recommend for a lifestyle choice. I personally also avoid grains and love to juice lots of greens especially cucumber, celery, fennel with spinach and turmeric. When I juice like this, combo daily combined with a 0 sugar diet, I begin to feel super human, it's such a good feeling and I can really see my twinkle power up over night. It really is like drinking liquid gold - I love it!

Number two has to be your thoughts, yes the things we think just to ourselves. You think they are secrets, well I hate to break the news but on some levels they are not. No, not in the sense that everyone can hear what you’re thinking but more on an energetic level on your twinkle level. If you're thinking up-beat positive thoughts then you create an up-beat positive magnetic energy field around you and you begin to attract to yourself the things you're having fun thinking. Other people may not be able to hear you but they will be pulled towards you, perhaps they won’t understand why. You see we are all interacting and attracting our lives towards ourselves in many ways and our thoughts are insanely powerful. So tip number two is really check in with what you're thinking about. If you're going on a downward spiral, try and lift your mood by thinking about something which feels nice. Day dreaming is a wonderful thing and a true elixir and tonic to life so come join me in this lovely pass time.

Number three: I always notice that people who exercise regularly have really bright twinkles. Fitness truly is a beautiful thing, not only does your body look great, it feels great to. You feel more alive more charged with positive energy. When I manage to exercise every day, I really do feel amazing. I'm less grumpy I have more energy and feel way more twinkly. I love all exercise - high energy and more chilled. I use all exercise to visualise myself working through the things I’m feeling stuck with. Rather like a moving meditation for me this visualisation really incorporates a spiritual practice with my exercise and I love it so much. It’s definitely a great way to power up your twinkle.

Number four: Mediation is another one, When you take time to slow down you mind, connect to the magic of the world, you literally recharge your battery with twinkle power - you create an imaginary disco ball around you and it acts like beaming light on it. Mediating really does power up your twinkle it makes your eyes brighter, your aura clearer and really helps you clear your path so you can access all the yummy stuff life has to offer.

Number five is more of what you love and valuing the simple things. So, get this, when you focus on what you love, more comes back to you. How amazing is that? It really is that simple when you fill your life with things you love, whatever they are, you simply attract more of the same. Try and make your life a mission for doing and being your truth. Make your work something you enjoy. It doesn't mean it all has to be perfect and only the right things for you as this practically isn't always possible. However if you can make sure the things you put your energy into on some level contribute to your life values, then you will feel much happier about doing them. Make sure every week you experience something which you really enjoy doing and again I stress it doesn't have to be big things. So for me this week, I had a yummy salad after an intense work out with a friend. We sat in a beautiful window which had an amazing view of rolling hills. It was a lovely moment and I’m still feeling good from it. When you learn to extract bliss from the simple things and making sure you fill up with small snippets of lovely experiences along the way. The energy of gratitude and joy is a really amazing way to power up your twinkle.

Number six is spend time in nature; trees, fields, beaches, rivers all contain magic energy which, when you spend time in, they fill you up with nature atoms. Nature is the most incredible tonic to life it refreshes your energy and makes everything feel easier to cope with. People who spend alot of time in nature are most certainly very twinkly beings. I’ve especially enjoyed spending time in woodlands dressed in shiny crushed velvet and a face full of glitter feeling full of twinkle power!

Number seven is wear clothes you love as clothes are a great way to add some twinkle power to your life. When you wear beautiful clothes which are good quality and express your personality, you really do feel amazing. When you feel good from the inside all the way to the outside life flows, you attract more of what you love and enjoy, the quality of your life is enhanced. So spend some time figuring out who you are, what your message is and how your going to express this with your clothes. Don't hold yourself back on this one, if you have thoughts of shame, embarrassment around doing this, then really spend some time getting underneath these thoughts and choosing to do it anyway. Clothes are for sure one of gods pleasure gifts to our lives so why not enjoy them guilt free!

This just leave to me to say this every one of us has been put on this planet with our own unique combination of magic and twinkle. You are the only one who can unlock this and share with the world. It really is worth spending the time learning, understanding and being yourself. Just remember baby steps turn into giant leaps so when we implement just small actions into powering up our twinkles, even when it feels impossible, before you know it you will be running a marathon, your own truth marathon fuelled alone on twinkle power!

Recently I’ve been thinking about what it is that keeps us stuck, holds us back from the decision to make changes to our lives so we can live those rainbow dreams we all desire. What is it that stops us from choosing our truths and keep us stuck in patterns that really don't serve us. Because, get this, stop a minute and remember this, life is precious, it really is.

I’ve seen so many people have their lives be taken away from them too early to soon and it’s witnessing that again and again the really draws home the truth that life is a massive gift and we need to treat it like the gift that it is and makes sure that you do yourself the honour and ask yourself is this YOUR truth you are living. Is this a life that sings in tune to your own personal melody and if not, what are you going to do about it - HOW are you going to UNSTICK yourself from whatever it is you feel you need to?

The first thing that pops into my head is fear, so many of us are terrified of the unknown and what's on the other side of change and transformation. Who knows, the truth is nothing is guaranteed in life, you can try and look into crystal balls but things always seem to work out with their own unexpected twist any way. However it’s so easy to get yourself paralysed in a state of fear of the unknown to the point where the position of fear becomes a normal place to exist and the experience of fear over takes the desire to make change and there you are stuck. In your own emotional entanglement, unable to create change.

Another thing is lack of self belief, so often we don't believe in our own abilities, unconscious programming comes into us from so many different directions from the moment of our conception. Babies, children, people are like sponges picking up information from our ancestors, our environment, the experiences we both have and witness other people having. They all build up until we reach the ripe old age of, well whatever it is, it can be 20 could be 50, and we just don't understand why but we just don't believe we can do it. We feel hopeless, stuck, unable to make the shifts we desire in our lives.

Something else that spring to mind is the influence of others. Sometimes people around us don't always want things to change and other people's ideas about how things should be done can be pretty distracting from our own internal voices. Especially when we have turned down our own volume. The world is a huge distraction on what we believe for ourselves and what we know to be true inside. This can range from friends, family, media, people in power, the government systems, rules, regulations, whatever. They can all be a huge distraction to us living the life we want and believe in.

These are, I’m sure, just a few things but they are the ones that jump to the forefront of my mind. They are the things which I personally can suffer with and have to work again and again at stepping over so that I may get up and shine and be my truth. You see, for me to live a life not true to the things which I believe in is something which makes me feel very sad. So what can we do to help us not fall into any of the above traps?

Spend time getting to know who you are, what are your values, what matters to you? There are no right or wrong answers here which is great news. You get to be inspired by everything that you want and you get to choose whats important to you give yourself that gift this is your life.

Take care of yourself, value the thoughts you think because they matter, they are forming your life. Spend time telling yourself positive things not negative ones. If you need help with this find someone to help you. Gift yourself support with believing yourself, you don't have to do this on your own, we are all growing perfectly in an imperfect way together.

Express yourself, don't forget to take time using your image to express who you are in the world. It's pretty amazing the things we can heal just by wearing clothes we love that feel true to our personalities and our styles. Ultimately our lives are a fancy dress party, were all here getting up getting dressed going out and creating ourselves within the world. Why not enjoy it, have some fun and see how much better you feel for it.

Just remember whatever you're going through, you're not alone, we are all in this together, one big collective universe. We share the same joy, we share the same pain, we share the same love - this is how healing happens, don't go through it alone. Go forth, take risks get up and twinkle like the true beauty you are born to be, let nothing hold you back, you are safe.

​As we transition into autumn it’s got me thinking about how much transition there is in life, when you actually think about it you realise things are always moving forward or sometimes backwards and well even sideways at times! Really the most important thing is how we cope with these things. Just like the seasons it's good to develop positive coping mechanisms so that transition may be graceful.

​Nature has created autumn as one of the most beautiful transitions of all the seasons, with the stress of the cold and wind she designed the trees so they may turn into stunning colours before they drop their leaves rather elegantly and gracefully. So, just like nature which coping mechanisms, can we adopt to help us with the transition into autumn?

Emotionally this is the season of tucking in and getting cosy cashmere socks and alpaca slippers all the way I say from now until spring! However really we need more than that to feel happy and ready for the new season. Don't forget to create space to de-clutter your wardrobe, have some space to daydream about life love and the universe, what you want, the things you're dreaming of, how you're transitioning in your life on to the new and exciting things. It’s so easy to stay stuck because change and the unknown can be uncertain and even scary. My motto is if it's in your heart and in your dreams, then dare to dream, get excited, don’t think how it’s going to happen. Just focus on the lovely feelings of how great whatever it is you're desiring is going to feel like when it comes. When your mind tries to jump in and rationalise, just say thank you but I’m day dreaming and get back on with that thought. I’ve manifested so many things into reality by doing this from a collection in Liberty’s London to a 22 caret gold ring for £2 on a market stall. Book a massage, treasure yourself, have a treatment, enjoy some time even if its just a small amount time loving yourself, feeling relaxed and happy helps you get into these dreamy places so magic may be created.

Fashion week is in full flow and if you love a trend spot or even just a little inspiration from the world's best designer, then look no further. The runways are full of life colour and fabulousness, currently in London showing spring/summer 2018, we've just had New York next stop Milan and the finale will be Paris. The best place to quickly look at the shows is via the Vogue Collections app. It’s the whole world of fashion at your finger tips with no advertising just pure runway fashion I love it! Some of my favourite shows for inspiration are Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana, Mui Mui, Prada, Alice and Olivia, Erdem, Self Portrait to name but a few of the collection I will be looking out for.

Which leads me to my current key piece I'm feeling excitement about; Turbans I love, love, love, them, if you ask me they are a definite style classic. Originally Persian they have been adapted by the fashion pack for at least 100 years. They began being seen in the early 1900s by the fashion forward on into the 1920s again in the 60’s and on and on. Now you can buy so many styles from outrageous to more relaxed. I’m particularly loving Missoni’s knitted version made with beautiful lurex knits. Then there is an amazing Eco Sottish cashmere company Rosie Sugden (https://www.rosiesugden.com/product/turban-cereal/) she also does a beautiful ear warmer for the more reserved (https://www.rosiesugden.com/product/cashmere-ear-warmer-cygnet/). However for the more extravagant I’m so excited by Marc Jacobs latest collection, every model has the most amazing turbans on using beautiful pieces of fabric wrapped in the most elegant way. So if, like me, you also feel the need to give this stunning look a try I recommend watching the liberty vlog on how to tie a turban (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k4xMtHQMdg). Liberty sells great scarves and also have a lot of great vlogs on how to style them creatively. A super versatile item, I recommend buying the best silk/ cashmere hand print you can find, don't hold back.

Next up I’m talking tweeds and tartans, what can I say except whatever you do you can rarely go wrong with a tartan or a tweed, they are so warm, mostly woven in the UK and a total style classic. If you invest in either you will be loving that item for the rest of your life. I say be adventurous, buy with some colour in the weave. Marc Jacobs again must have been reading my mind (not the other way around ;-0) as he has teamed the prettiest pink tartan poncho with a beautiful silk turban for his spring summer 2018 collection so these are looks that will carry you through onto the next season as well. You heard it here first.

​This leaves or leaves me to say (sorry bad Autumn joke) enjoy the season change, embrace it with the same amount of grace and beauty as nature does, after all we are nature, we are all connected, remember to buy only items you 100% adore, think about who made the item where it came from as fashion and style can work in total harmony with our beautiful world, it just takes us to think twice before we buy!

Fashion week has started around the world and the seasons are changing rapidly I find myself thinking about what are the key looks I will be sporting this season. It’s not that I’m looking at the designers collections I’m more thinking about what my mood is, what I’m feeling drawn to this season. I’m also thinking about how I can work with my current wardrobe in a new fresh exciting way and how I can sort my cupboards out so they inspire me when I open them to get dressed. So here are my top tips for the new season;

Tip number 1Remember this the world is in a pretty dire state environmentally and it really needs us to stop filling it with more junk/stuff. This by no means we need to stop being style savvy or even consumers it just means we need to be conscious consumers. We need to stop buying fast quick fix fashion items. The key is always quality over quantity, buy less and buy wisely always. Have this attitude with everything, good quality items will last better, will pass on to others and are less likely to end up in landfill? Or buy second hand whatever your budget, second hand clothes aren’t only for those who can’t afford new ones they are for everyone even the super rich it’s about saving our beautiful planet nothing to do with keeping up with the jones. There is nothing more cool than a market or car boot find for £1 when it was supposed to cost £100 new. So when you're thinking about adding some new pieces to your wardrobe keep these thoughts in your mind.

Tip number 2Let it go, let it go, yes I’ve been listening to frozen music on repeat all summer holidays but seriously the best thing you can do is let it go. One study on women’s wardrobes showed that 85% of women are storing clothes just incase. Most women were shown to have clothes in 3 different sizes just incase they loose weight or needed it for the future. So my reasons for letting them go are both psychological and ecological. Imagine if all those clothes stashed in closets were out in the world for other people to treasure just think how much good that would be doing for our planet. For most of us we don't have huge walk in wardrobes to store our belongings in, so all these clothes we don't wear are just making our wardrobe spaces feel blocked cluttered and uninspiring. I say live life for the now, keep those style pieces you love it's perfectly ok to store great items you now you will wear or are out of season but pass on all the just in cases or if I loose weight items. You know what when you do loose weight there is nothing better than going out and treating yourself to a brand spanking new (Eco)version of whatever it is you need.

Tip number 3Know yourself, hey sister there is no excuse for not making time to get to know yourself. I’m telling you now as a busy mother of 3, a female entrepreneur and an obsessive beauty lover with little time to think straight half the time. Let me give you some loving yet straight words on this. YOU are the wine, sweet honey, nectar whatever else you may call it that fills your cup. None else, only YOU are the person that can work out what rocks YOUR world. YOU don't need to be anyone else but SWEET HONEY YOU. Being a style savvy fashionista isn't about following the latest trend obsessively running after things that just aren't YOU whats the point in that? So what I’m saying is this unpick your personality work out who you are the things you love. If your favourite thing is to lounge all day and not really get dressed then great why not collect a few beautiful silk dressing gowns or some amazing lounge wear. We all have many personalities and when we know ourselves and accept ourselves from this point we can start building a wardrobe we really love.

Tip number 4Honour yourself and your space. I’m all about a great wardrobe space, it is so satisfying to open your closet and find everything in order ready for you to dive in and play around with. I clear my wardrobe every season putting summer clothes either in a separate wardrobe or in storage boxes. Make sure you have a really great mirror and spend time arranging your clothes so they look good, hang as much as possible up so it’s easy to see what you have. Often things stashed in draws are easily forgotten about even if you love them. Invest time in keeping on top of this process, keep your wardrobes clean and smelling lovely, you can even put crystals in the draws and lavender bags or use essential oil mixes on ceramic hangers. Think of your wardrobe as part of your temple zen zone and enjoy making magical energy around it. After all your clothes are an extension of you and your skin so treat them with love and care.

Tip number 5Keep a mood board in constant flow of styles that you feel drawn to and love, refresh this all the time. Collect and gather images you feel drawn too and stick them either on a pin board or in a note book. Pinterest is great for this. The point is to keep your inspiration flowing, when we collect images they create a visual reference both for you and the universe to respond to. You will find that you will begin to gravitate toward these styles that you love naturally and they will gravitate towards you with ease.

Tip number 6It’s all about styling, you really don't need allot of clothes to wear allot of different styles. Get creative with your wardrobe. Playing around with your clothes isn't just for little girls, remember the days when you would try different things on all afternoon just for fun then as you got older and busier you didn't bother. Or if you have never spent an afternoon just trying on your clothes for fun well you really should. We so often mistake the fact we need something new with the fact we haven't played around with what we already have. I’ve spent so much time in my life trying things on upside down or back to front or mixing and matching things it’s really fun. One of the things you can do once you have found combinations you love together is create a space within your wardrobe to hang these items in and for a certain amount of time you can focus on wearing only these pieces. Rather like creating a capsule collection out of your belongings, then when you feel like refreshing you can just circulate them back in to your other clothes and start again. My point is this have fun, get creative try stuff on mix it up.

Tip number 7Get together and talk clothes, it’s so much fun to sit around and talk about style together. We are social creatures were not meant to do everything alone. As we get older we don't hang out with our girlfriends in the same way as we did when we were younger. Why not gather your bestie’s and have a fun evening or afternoon together talking style, clothes and well whatever else you want as let face it when us women get together we always end up putting the world to rights.Or why don't you join me on one of my style pamper days in beautiful locations where we can do just that, see my events for more details.

So this season for us in the UK we're going into autumn which is a season I love, I’ve always loved autumn partly because it’s my birthday in November so I get to celebrate and also because of the colours. Being primarily an artist at heart and being bought up by an artist, I’ve been playing with colour all my life. I love it, colour can transform your mood instantly and wearing colour has such an enriching experience on your life. I once remember a healer telling me that it really isn’t good to wear too much black because it literally blocks light flowing into your body. When I thought about this for myself to me it made sense, black is such a dense colour.

Yet so many people wear it head to toe all the time. It’s everybody’s 'go to' staple yet not that many people can truly carry off black and truly shine. So here we are going into autumn from summer where everyone wears colour and are far more adventurous with their clothes styles, within a month or so all those pretty summer dresses will be replaced with a sea of black uniform staples and in my heart I’m asking WHY?

So this is my take on colour; we all have certain colours which literally light us up, it’s amazing to see how this can work. I first had my colours done when I was about 9 years old, it was so much fun and amazing to see the effects of different colours against my skin. These days I can really feel when a colour is good for me, I’m naturally drawn to spring like colours which have a softness about them. When the season changes I don’t ditch them for black, I stay true to what I know works and love. I often get laughed at for wearing my cream mohair coat in the woods but it's as simple as this; cream makes me feel light and bright, why would I swap it for a black cagoule - surely I want to feel amazing wherever I go?

When you know what colours work for you it’s a really reassuring feeling because you can shop with confidence, knowing you can invest in key wardrobe items which you really are going to love forever. For example, I have an extensive collection of coloured cashmere cardigans and jumpers, every season or so I add a new one, it’s such a lovely thing to do. Funnily though, the girls in the shop always say they would buy the practical colours like black over colour so they would get more wear. However for me I love the fact I have lots of coloured knitwear it means I can always feel bright and myself even in the colder months when everything is drab.

For me the dressing safe buying safe colours mentality doesn't work because, before you know it, you have lost your own personality within your style. Using colour within your key pieces is a really great way to feel lots of pizzazz within your outfit. However the main key with this is know your colours. I really recommend getting your colours assessed professionally, I know it may seem like an older lady thing to do but it’s actually an amazing way to pamper yourself gain deeper understanding on what suits you so you can go out and make some really bold statements with colour within your clothes. For example I’m loving this red wool coat from Reiss, it would amazing on someone who can carry this colour of red… Maybe it’s you?

One of the messages I feel super inspired to share is the true value of creativity in our lives. It is true the world around us is changing and creativity is valued and encouraged within our systems. However true creativity a life where creativity is the core and everything else works around this energy is mainly saved for artists and designers creatives who have managed to master their skills and who have found a way to sell their gifts. In my opinion for most of us humans and most certainly within the worlds core systems; schooling and the way the world is run. Creativity is still just used like salt and pepper, sparingly and mostly just for a little flavour it is not at the core of our life curriculum.

It’s not that long ago only our parents generation where if you had a gift for art or music or drama you were encouraged to focus on something more practical and were perhaps allowed to study one of the above just for fun. Even when I was at school and still now although peoples differences are more honoured nowadays the core subjects are maths and english. Now I do get that when you can do these things you have the skills to access information, however what about the information which can only be accessed through your intuition your creativity. What if that was honoured as the most important core skill you could ever learn, how would our lives be different? So what is creativity to me?This week I found myself on a beach feeling pretty tired after a long stint of single handed child caring, my energy felt tired stressed and quite lost. I was getting that feeling when I can't quite reach myself, my true happy relaxed self. My daughter started playing with sea weed and one piece reminded me of hair, then I had this image of lots of mermaids made from sea weed and pebbles like little fashion models. We got to work creating them, I noticed how the tiny stone looked like bones and body shapes and the sea weed was just like mermaids tails. Immediately a light in my body lit up I felt excited and alive again it was magical. After I had finished I was a different person I felt more loving more connected, I was excited and the anxiety in my body started to calm down.I’m always thinking about the importance of creativity not salt and pepper creativity, core creativity and this experience really showed me how instant the impact of creativity is within our lives. You see when we are creatively expressed we feel so much happier and everything around us responds. I believe we are all creative in our own ways every single person has their own version of creativity within them. I hear it so often people don't bother trying because they think it's not their skill however I don't believe this is true. If you're a human you have creativity within your blue print its more about the freedom you have learnt to access it based on your ancestry and your life experience.I’m lucky I’ve been born from a long line of artist, musicians, lace makers, tailors you name it I have creativity in my blood going back hundreds of years however when I left school my confidence was so poor I could hardly draw. I had bought so deeply into the belief that I was either stupid or just to rebellious to succeed at anything based on the fact I couldn't read the English literature or do the Maths homework. I had forgotten about or didn't understand about my true gift. Despite being asked to leave school luckily my soul had its own mission and by some miracle I managed to stumble my way into 7 years worth of art school and I am so grateful for that. Creativity and education became a healing path a place for me to express and heal myself through projects and by being not only good at something but amazing. Eventually I went to the Royal college of Art where I had the opportunity to indulge in my creativity, surrounded by a whole college full of super creative people. You can imagine it was like a play ground of ultimate expression, no holding back. Here I truly embodied the art form of not giving a f**k and embodying the true mindset of being myself my truth my version of creative expression. I have taken this with me through my whole life.So its like this for some of us being creative is such a huge drive within our souls blue print if we don't live our truths we feel life isn’t worth living it is that strong. We have no choice but to carve out our own ways of living and breathing in a world where sometimes it feels its main mission is to squash a creative path. I know I am not alone in feeling like this and although my desires for a freely expressed creative life maybe shouting out louder in my ear than many. I believe if we all quietened ourselves and listened deeper every single person would be asking for a more expressed more creative version of themselves. Creativity isn't exclusive for the artists the crazy ones who shout about it who cant be anything else (yes that me ;-) ) Its for every single one of us.In my opinion creativity is this…You don't have to be creating pieces of art to be a creative, creativity is a mindset it’s having the creativity to adapt and flow with all of lives ups and downs it’s a freedom tool. It’s about having the desire and energy to step and say this is who I am, what I believe in. I want my life to look like and feel like this….…I want my home, my clothes they way I express myself to resonate with these beliefs. It doesn't mean you need to look more outrageous or be louder than the rest it just means you need to be true to YOU and only YOU. If you love beige and want your whole life to be coloured in beige then do it, it would look so stylish. Or if your all about the gold and shiny stuff then do that. There are no rules only YOU and who we project ourselves to be in the world matters. Your clothes are part of the whole package of YOUR life so take some time to understand YOURSELF and express that.So this is my message pease be the most creatively expressed version of you because the world needs more creative people it’s not just the salt and pepper on your life it’s the chore of you're being start believing this….Your clothes are a great place to start.

Ever get the feeling when you're falling into the web searching for something, you're not quite sure what, perhaps a missing part of yourself. The part you just can't pin your finger or seem to find. It rolls like this, you start looking for something which popped into your head, an idea, something important, and before you know it hours have passed and you're looking/ reading something totally random.

Sometimes when I'm feeling lost in myself I can find myself obsessively clicking at my phone trying to find something despite knowing the thing I’m looking for just can’t be or won’t be found because in those moments the only place I need to look is within. At these times I get the sense of crystallised shards of myself whiring​ around the world wide web and I just can't gather them. I’m sure I'm not alone on this, I wonder what would happen if we all switched our energy from external searching to internal searching what kind of a world would we live in?

I’m a self connection addict, I am because I know how good it feels to be in flow with yourself there is nothing like it, it feels so good. When I’m nailing it with my diet my fitness, managing time well so I get some space for myself to do things I love doing. When I have the headspace to dress well, feel and look good. Life becomes on fire, good stuff flows right to me as if from the sky into my lap. Work isn't work it pleasures, Kids are easier to cope with as are all relationships life feels good.

Then there is the flip side when I have fallen out of rhythm and landed hard into disconnection.It becomes really hard not to eat rubbish, I give up on fitness before I know it I’ve been wearing the same jeans for days and I cant be bothered. Life gets harder its just not so much fun. This is when I find myself wasting valuable time on the web searching for random rubbish that I would be better off not even knowing about. Don’t get me wrong the web is incredible but its in these moments that it really doesn't serve me.

​The thing is this we all have a choice as to what quality of life we choose to live, quality isn't really based on how much money you have to spend its based on the essence of the things we choose to invest ourselves in. There are a whole load of amazingly nurturing and magical energy boosting things literally on our door steps or not too far away, thanks to nature. However so many of us choose to spend our time searching on the web for things to fill ourselves up rather than just sitting and being with whatever feelings were trying to distract ourselves from. When all we are doing is enforcing the feeling of separation, disconnection or whatever else it is were experiencing.

For me the key word with all of this is disconnection, I see this with my children myself and well people all around me. When we disconnect from ourselves we literally check out of the potential for a full, happy and expressed life. Everyone around us feels it, kids can’t find you because your lost somewhere important down an iPhone being busy and productive. Partners cant reach us because our energy is unavailable, neuro- pathway's become shut down and it feels harder to reach out. We close off to the magic energy fields that exists everywhere trying to connect you up with everything you need with ease.Disconnection is one of the biggest diseases however but there are no health warnings all over it, it has become the modern day norm.

So my message is this both to myself and the whole wide world, please wake up. Connect to yourself do whatever you can. Carve out time and space for you to thrive, eat well, fill up on water, check in with your mindset, dress yourself in clothes you love daily become expressed. Take care of you, switch your phone off, stop looking for the answers, find them within yourself all the magic is right hear within you. Then connect with your family your friends be present with them.Lets start a connection revolution and see where it takes us, perhaps it would be a more peaceful and a more conscious loving world? Just a thought. xx
